It was pointed out, however, that the War Department ' wiil require approximately the amount of space in the new Com- merce Building and that the Navy will need about the same space occupied by the Internal Revenue Building. The Commerce Building costing | $17,500,000 and the Internal Revenue Building $10,000,000.

In the course of the conferences which have taken place during the past few months, the Fine Arts Commission has suggested the desirability of plac- ing the Wai and Navy Buildings along both sides of Pennsylvania avenue west of the White House.

By the Assoctated Press The Democratic row precipitated by Chairman Raskob of the National Committee, has led to a full flower~ ing of political speculation concerning 1932. Not only in the party of Jefferson, but in Republican ranks as well, the next presidential race has become an absorbing topic for public utterance. Meanwhile, independents are getting to- gether, disclaiming any third party in- tentions, but bent on making their mark through coalescing on objectives, which { have been somewhat scattered. | Most ' conspicuous in Democratic | ranks was a concerted effort to smother the Raskob plan to line up the party for his “home rule,” State liquor con- trol project.
